Songs in Episode 6: The Preachification of Convincing John


1. Why? [03:05]

Performed by: Mokey

Sometimes I'm alone,
Sitting on my very own,
Trying to find a simple kind of clue.

And I would like to know,
Why the Doozers move me so,
Doing all the things that Doozers do.

Why do caterpillars crawl?
Why is there a sky?
Why is there a world at all?
And why do I ask why?

Here I go again.
Why do questions never end?
What keeps callin' all day long to me?

Secrets come and go.
I know we're not the only ones.
Sometimes magic, sometimes only me.

Why do caterpillars crawl?
Why is there a sky?
Why is there a world at all?
Any why do I ask why?

2. Listen to Convincing John - (Don't Eat Towers) [01:52]

Performed by: Convincing John and the Fragglettes

Notes: also in episode 38 (w/ different words)

Listen to Convincing John,
And all your troubles will be gone.
He's gonna tell it, spell it, sell it,
Just for you.

Now then listen to me Fraggles.
Give your Fraggle mouths a-waggle.
You can chew a Doozer tower till you're blue (you're blue).

But there's a mighty day a coming,
When the food will hit your tummy,
And you'll know that what I'm telling you is true (is true).

So if you want to get ahold of something extra good as gold,
You gotta stop and give a thought to what you do (what you do).
Never eat another tower till I tell you what it's doing to you.

Listen to Convincing John,
And all your troubles will be gone.
He's gonna tell it, spell it, sell it,
Just for you.

Well you eat a Doozer tower,
And it's as pretty as a flower,
And a flower's what you pick up in a field (a field),
But the field can have a hole,
And you can fall in while you stroll,
And a Gorg can come along to find a meal (a meal),
And he can pack you in a sack,
And you can try to scramble back,
But then you'll never, ever, ever get free (get free),
'Cause every time you eat a tower you'll be shut up for eternity.

Listen to Convincing John,
And all your troubles will be gone.
He's gonna tell it, spell it, sell it,
Just for you.

And if you want to hear a story,
That is horrible and gory,
Let me tell you about a Fraggle I knew (I knew).

He was sitting on a byway,
Eating up a Doozer highway,
In the way a hungry Fraggle will do (will do).

Then he started in a-changing and he started rearranging, 
And I promise you this story is true (is true).
By the time it was done he was a human being through and through.

Listen to Convincing John,
And all your troubles will be gone.
He's gonna tell it, spell it, sell it, (but don't eat it!),
Just for you.

3. Listen to Convincing John - (Do Eat Towers) [01:04]

Performed by: Convincing John and the Fragglettes

Notes: also in episode 38 (w/ different words)

Now listen to me Fraggles.
Set your Fraggle mouths a-waggle.
You can starve yourself until you turn blue (turn blue).

But there's a mighty day a comin',
When your tummy will be hummin',
And you'll know that what I'm telling you is true (is true).

So if you want to get ahold of something extra good as gold,
You gotta stop and give a thought to what you do (what you do).
You gotta eat a Doozer tower 'cause the tower really wants you to.

Listen to Convincing John,
And all your troubles will be gone.
He's gonna tell it, spell it, sell it,
Just for you.

Listen to Convincing John,
And all your troubles will be gone.
He's gonna tell it, spell it, sell it, (yum yum!),
Just for you.
